Notting Hill Editions

NOTTING HILL EDITIONS - Beautiful Books for the curious reader.

NHE is an independent British publisher. The company was founded by Tom Kremer (1930-2017), champion of innovation and the man responsible for popularising the Rubik’s cube. After a successful business career in toy invention Tom decided, at the age of eighty, to engage his passion for literature. In a digital world where time is short and books are throwaway, Tom's aim was to revive the art of the essay and to produce exceptionally beautiful books that would be cherished.

Hailed as ‘the shape of things to come’ the family-run press brings to print the most surprising thinkers of past and present in pocket-size, collectible books.

We believe that a beautifully produced book enhances the reading experience. Written by some of the most unusual thinkers of our times, our linenbound pocket-size hardbacks are a joy to hold - as arresting on the inside as they are on the outside.

— Notting Hill Editions

Every Notting Hill Editions book is bound in signature linen, with red satin head and tail bands and a marker ribbon. The covers are foil blocked, requiring hand assembly, the paper is unbleached and printed in two colours, with red drop caps and page numbering.

The books are a joy to the hand and the eye and will appeal to both lovers of books and beautiful objects. NHE also offers a bespoke subscription service – receive a book a month for yourself or a loved one, for 6 or 12 months. The books are wrapped in bespoke wrapping and box, and come with occasional free gifts, author-signed copies, and invitations to private book launches.

Kim Kremer’s BACKGROUND

Tom’s daughter, Kim Kremer joined the company in 2014 and worked with Tom until his death in 2017.

I joined NHE in 2014 and worked with my father Tom Kremer until his death in 2017. We imagined our reader sinking into an armchair to read an NHE book and with this picture in mind agreed our commissioning ethic: ‘She will be a slightly different person on rising from the chair than she was when she sat down.’
